This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of North and
Central Georgia.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight...

A Flood Watch remains in effect for portions of north and central
Georgia. Many areas have received 2-6 inches of rain over the
last 3 days, and periods of heavy, continuous rainfall over
saturated areas may result in flash, river, and/or urban flooding
for several locations.

Scattered thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and evening,
with the greatest coverage over east central Georgia. A couple
strong storms could be possible and an isolated severe storm
cannot be ruled out. The primary threats will be locally heavy
rainfall and damaging wind gusts. A brief, isolated tornado cannot
be ruled out.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday...

The Flood Watch will remain in effect until 8 PM on Friday.
Several locations may experience flash, river, and/or urban
flooding through Friday evening before heavy rain subsides ahead
of a drier weekend. Localized rainfall totals through Friday may
exceed 5 inches.

Finally, another round of thunderstorms is expected on Monday
afternoon and evening ahead of and along a cold front.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not requested but spotters are encouraged
to submit reports of severe weather through the web by going to
weather.gov/atlanta. Please relay any information about observed
severe weather to the NWS.
